PowderyWhat does Spirit of Golden Vanilla smell like?
The bergamot's freshness is softened at first by the fruity sweetness of peach and blackcurrant. In the heart, orange blossom, geranium and benzoin add a floral, spicy turn. Vanilla, myrrh and opoponax lead the base, where the scent turns creamy, powdery and oriental.
Longevity and sillage are rated good. Most voters pick winter and autumn, and it leans towards evenings and leisure time. Most voters read it as feminine. Diesel Loverdose Tattoo and Yves Saint Laurent Black Opium (Eau de Parfum) have a close profile.
